The T-Mobile G1 will be coming soon and is the first Google Android device. HTC has been making devices for years and you can see aspects of their touch, flair, and quality on the device. The G1 was codenamed the HTC Dream and for some it may be a dream come true. The hardware is solid and functional, but it is also a first generation device that is not perfect.

The G1 uses the HTC bottom port for the headset so you will need an adapter to use a standard 3.5mm headset.
